Red parrot fish is white. What caused it?

Parrot fish is a tropical ornamental fish with high popularity. Almost half of the people who raise tropical fish have some experience in raising parrot fish. The most impressive thing about parrot fish is of course its bright color, which accounts for more than half of the popularity of parrot fish.

However, although the parrot fish is beautiful in color, it often makes the fish friends unhappy because of the color problem. The reason is that parrot fish will not fade, so today we will talk about the color of parrot fish: whether parrot fish is red or not, in addition to congenital factors, there must be acquired factors. In addition to the injection of pigments by unscrupulous merchants, the later factors include daily management and reasonable cultivation of food. Take the pigment of parrot fish as an example. I can't see any difference in a short time, but it will fade in a month or so. My personal experience is to find little red dot in some parts of parrot fish. Usually the red dot is the injection port of pigment, so if you buy parrot fish and encounter several red dots, you should pay attention.

Light intensity. Parrots are sensitive to light. It is required to give strong light regularly and quantitatively. Stick to 1-2 hours of bright light every day, and then spend the rest of the time in the dark. Remember: the lighting time should not be too long. After turning off the lights, the environment of the fish tank should be kept dark. In this way, once you turn on the light again, you will find that the parrot is much redder than before. If the fish tank is in a room without sunshine, increase the light for two hours every day, and then turn off the lights. If there is enough indoor light, it is necessary to keep the indoor light properly after the lamp tube reflects, so that the aquarium is in a dim state. (No more than three hours of light every day).
